I would give anything just to see you now
I had so much to tell wish i did somehow
I cried and cried the day you closed your eyes
Memories forever lost from all the things that we didn't say now

All i'm asking is for you to understand
What i believed was always wrong
I knew the father but i wish i knew the man
Oh i've waited way too long to say these words to you

Words that we never spoke but we felt inside
Silence that was never broke though i should have tried
And now i'm reaching out my hand to you to the other side now

If you could see me today
You'd be so proud of me
I know the right words to say
I'll follow you forever

All i'm asking is for you to understand
What i believed was always wrong
So please forgive me and i'll be a better man
Ooh i've waited way too long to say these words to you
